The devices are arranged near a waste oil well together, and by means of the weight of the tide or ocean current energy power generation device 106, the oil gas monitoring unit 104, the rod anchor 105 and the buoyancy of the floater 103, the rope is tensioned up and down, the system is ensured to be basically vertical, the length of the rope is adjusted, the area with the most dense tide or ocean current energy is selected, and the tide or ocean current energy is directly utilized for power generation. In order to overcome the rotating torque generated by the rotation of the power generation device, a slip ring mechanism can be used for releasing the rotating torque; or two series arrangement modes are adopted, and blades are arranged to rotate reversely to offset mutual rotating torque. In order to prevent the normal operation of the channel from being influenced, the floats are arranged about 3-10 meters below the sea surface. The tide or ocean current energy power generation device 106 is composed of a generator and blades, the generator adopts a full-open topological structure, the blades directly drive an outer rotor of the generator to generate power, no additional transmission device or rotary sealing device is provided, and a bearing is lubricated by seawater.
